Republican billionaires rally around Trump for April fundraiser as election – and scramble for cash – heats up
Hedge fund founder #John#Paulson is hosting a high-dollar fundraiser next month to benefit Donald Trump’s presidential campaign that is drawing some of the Republican Party’s wealthiest donors, according to an invitation obtained by CNN
Conservative #billionaires Liz and Dick #Uihlein are backing Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, according to the Financial Times, adding a rescue in the form of financial support for Trump, whose campaign faces a significant cash gap behind President Joe Biden’s fundraising efforts
An anti-Trump group backed by billionaires Reid Hoffman, Seth Klarman and John Pritzker is launching a $50 million ad campaign featuring disaffected Trump voters—while some conservative billionaires coalesce behind the former president as it’s become clear he’ll secure the GOP nomination.
🔸Republican Voters Against Trump🔸, which is funded by the 🔹Republican Accountability PAC, 🔹aims to raise $30 million, in addition to the $20 million it’s already raised, for an advertising campaign featuring 👉videos of former Trump voters explaining why they won’t cast their ballots for him again this year, its founder #Sarah#Longwell told the New York Times.
#Reid#Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and a prolific Democratic donor, is one of the Republican Accountability PAC’s biggest backers, donating $2 million in both January and June last year, according to Federal Election Commission filings that show his $4 million accounts for half of what the group raised last year.
#Seth#Klarman, who runs the Boston-based Baupost hedge fund and is a vocal Trump critic who has donated to both parties, gave $1 million to the group in May last year.
#John#Pritzker, of the billionaire family that founded Hyatt hotels, gave a total of $1 million to the group through two $500,000 donations in June and November last year.
Founded during the 2020 campaign, Republican Voters Against Trump is ramping up its anti-Trump efforts as the former president is now the de facto Republican nominee.
♦️Meanwhile, conservative billionaires are lining up behind Trump ♦️, including shipping and packing company founders #Liz and #Dick#Uihlein, the Financial Times reported this weekend,
and aerospace billionaire #Robert#Bigelow, according to Politico—all previous donors to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ failed presidential campaign.
I have never seen so much evil in my life, think-tank wise. Florida billionaire and major DeSantis donor Dick Uihlein and his Foundation for Government Accountability—FGA (& its lobbying arm “Opportunity Solutions Project) are not just trying to roll back child labor laws across the country— with great successes thus far— they are into EVERYTHING, and to a degree of sickness I’ve never seen.

Where the Uihleins sent their cash after the #insurrection >>
"A nonprofit led by GOP megadonor Richard #Uihlein contributed millions of dollars in 2021 to conservative groups who played roles in promoting falsehoods of widespread voter fraud following the #2020Election or are linked to efforts to challenge the election results, including more than $2 million within a week of the deadly #Jan6 attack on the Capitol."
"In the days after the attempted insurrection on January 6, 2021, the Ed #Uihlein Family Foundation, a major funder of extremist right-wing groups, gave millions to groups that
played a role in challenging the results of the 2020 election and fueled the violent attack on
the Capitol."
Once again, the tone deaf, Christo-fascist GOP in Illinois drop tons of money in #Ohio and lose.
Uihlein, Proft and Bailey can go fuck right off.
These "christian" men will never stop trying to remove reproductive rights from women.
Assholes.
